Alright, let's quickly play with verbose mode.
0:05
We've seen that we're able to run Cookiecutter with no inputs,
0:08
let's try it in verbose mode, it's going to ask some questions,
0:11
tell me all sorts of stuff like here is some default values we're using,
0:15
we generated this context and this is what we're going to use
0:18
to start asking these questions,
0:21
okay, so I'll just go and give it some values,
0:24
let's let it suppose that that's my username, and this is fine,
0:28
we'll take this as well, and then it does a whole bunch of work,
0:33
let's make this bigger, so it's great, we're searching okay it appears to be
0:38
that this file is what we're going to use for the project,
0:41
we're going to generate the project from that, we're rendering the directory
0:45
and then we're making sure that it doesn't exist,
0:48
first we create the directory then we make sure it does exists, right,
0:51
okay there it goes, and it found no hooks, if there were hooks,
0:54
it would say we're running the pre-generation script, the post-generation script,
0:57
that's what hooks are about, so it's processing all these files that are here,
1:00
it's transformed requirements to see if anything is there,
1:04
change the README and it checks to see what's binary
1:06
then it wrote the contents of that, which is cool,
1:09
remember it uses like the summary or whatever of the project that goes there,
1:13
you could just go through and see all the steps that it's going,
1:16
as it's processing these files and finally there is no post-hooks either,
1:20
so it didn't run that and we're done.
1:22
Alright, so this verbose mode is really helpful if you need it,
1:25
especially when you're creating your own templates.
